Stories from the Field

Working with the local health government, we are building a system that will be sustainable as well as impactful.

But for us at Moving Health, everything always comes back to the people that we work with and work for. Our team is motivated by the patients that our ambulances transport to the hospital, and the improved health of the communities that we work with.

"The ambulance saved my life and my babies' lives. If the ambulance was not there, I would have given birth at home and anything could have happened to me or the babies. This ambulance has really taken a lot of burden off women and their husbands in this community. Imagine at 3:00 am, traveling close to 30 minutes to Tumu. The bumps and the shaking. It would not have been easy for me. If no one has seen the benefits of this ambulance, I can testify that the ambulance is supportive and life-saving."

"Before we had the Moving Health Ambulance, it was difficult to get a motorcycle or vehicle to take us to another health facility if referred. Many women had to deliver at home because of this. Now the narrative has changed with the arrival of the Moving Health ambulance."

Dr. Alex Bapula

Sissala East Health Director

"This ambulance is a game-changer in our municipality. Since I arrived to work as a director of health, our major challenge has been how to get a means of transport for our patients who need medical services... It will be available in the community and any mother in labor or who needs any emergency services can quickly be transported to a nearby referral facility"
